Create a timeline in Office 2016 for Mac

When you want to show a sequence of events, such as project milestones or events, you can use a SmartArt graphic timeline. After you create the timeline, you can add events, move events, change layouts and colors, and apply different styles.

On the Insert tab, click SmartArt > Process.

Click Basic Timeline or one of the other process-related graphics.

Click the [Text] placeholders and enter the details of your events.

Tip: You can also open the Text Pane and enter your text there. On the SmartArt Design tab, click Text Pane.
